Post processing of uploaded file

1. You can do this using the wp_handle_upload hook:

   http://adambrown.info/p/wp_hooks/hook/wp_handle_upload?version=3.4&file=wp-admin/includes/file.php

   Create a function and add it to this hook so it runs last, it will be passed an array. The array contains the location of the newly uploaded file:

   add_filter('wp_handle_upload','wpse_66775_handle_upload',1000,1);
   function wpse_66775_handle_upload($args){
       $filename = $args['file'];
       $type = $args['type'];
       // test if it's an XML file and do some work on it
       if(the file is an xml file){
           super_magic_xml_file_modifier($filename);
       }
       return $args;
   }
   
   function super_magic_xml_file_modifier($filename){
       // General PHP/XML stuff that doesn't belong on WPSE
   }
   

   Modifying the XML file etc, is another task that is not within the scope of this site.
